Thursday’s Sound Off

I went to the Pottstown Classic Car Show Saturday night and it’s wonderful to see how that event can breathe some life into our once grand old town of Pottstown even though it’s only for one day. The next day it goes back to being a ghost town. Events like that should never have been discouraged. Cruising was something that Pottstown could have built on especially since all the industry was lost. Big events could have been planned around that. What a loss it was.

I read in Sunday’s Mercury again about the pension crisis in Pennsylvania. Hopefully they’re insured and maybe it’s just time to declare bankruptcy and start all over, like what happened in the private sector.

I hope somebody can help me. Two of my cats got out through the air vent in the air conditioner and I must find them, they need medicine. One is white and she’s small and she has orange and black, and the other one is an orange tabby calico. They were lost at 42 E. 3rd St. and I must get them back. If anybody has seen these cats please call me immediately at 484-447-1704. Please help.

Owen J. Roberts School Board candidates, why don’t you get out and take your signs down or are you just going to leave them up until November?

Disgusted

I am always amused by the clips about man-made climate change from the scientifically illiterate. We humans add over 30 billion tons of gaseous pollutants to the atmosphere on a yearly basis and have done this for well over 100 years. This is on top of what the planet naturally produces. This has an additive effect and is a fact. Please read some science books so you can learn and sound less uneducated in your next rant.

Enigma

As a resident of Pottstown I’m really curious what the borough councilors for each ward do, what are the responsibilities? I’d like to know that really. That would be nice.

For the person asking why the administration building is so far away from the high school or middle school, please don’t. It’ll end up costing us more money somehow.

Can you count to three? Then you know how many presidents before Mr. Trump got elected by the Electoral College rather than the popular vote, one of them by the way was a Democrat. But a lot of folks aren’t happy with the democratic process any more so they took their time and marched all over the place this past weekend. Me, I just feel sorry for them.

This is to DP in Monday’s Sound Off about the Tea Party and the secret white parties. Has Hillary Clinton ever knocked on your door and asked you how you’re doing? Really, you want to complain about secret white parties in America?

JCS

Why is Donald Trump lashing out at the mayor of London where the people just got killed? I guess because the mayor is a Muslim. Deplorable.

This is to OSR who says we don’t need to worry about the climate, that God will take care of it. That’s like saying it’s all right to have someone fire a gun at you because God will intercept the bullet. God gives us all freedom of choice. He also helps those who help themselves.

I recently stayed at Phoenixvile Hospital for a week in room 450 and I would like to thank the nurses and doctors, the cleaning lady, everybody for making my stay so pleasant, as pleasant as a hospital stay could be.

I don’t know who schedules these road construction projects in Pottstown but they should be ashamed of themselves. You go down this street and next thing you know road closed. So you turn off to go down another street and another road closed. It just goes on and on.

Pitiful

It’s seems to me that if you need a sign in your yard that says “Hate has no home here,” there’s a good chance that you have little tolerance for those who do not share your political views.

This goes out to OSR and other uneducated individuals who like Trump choose to turn a blind eye to climate change and global warming. Please watch Leonardo DiCaprio’s moving speech on YouTube on climate change or the documentary “Before the flood.” This problem belongs to the entire world. Wake up and get educated before it’s too late for future generations.

It begins. Pre-reassignment surgery and pre-hormone therapy for boys competing against girls are winning athletic championships to the delight of simpleminded parents and progresses oblivious to physiological advantages. If not through legislation such mockeries of physical prowess should be addressed through demonstration.
